Lori & KC - You are an Ironman!
On December 1, 2013, KC Carlberg, Lori McCarney,
and nearly forty other Hawaii athletes competed at
Ironman Cozumel, Mexico. For KC, the well-known
owner of TryFitness and an established personal trainer and Race Director, this would be her first Ironman.
For Lori, it was her eighth.
Lori: What made you decide at this time in your
career to do an Ironman? KC: Good question. I’ve
been doing triathlon for 25 years and just love the
sport and what it has given to me in my life. When I
turned 50 this year, I really wanted to do something
significant. I’ve always wanted to do an Ironman, particularly Kona Ironman, but never found the time with
coaching, training, and running Try Fitness. This year
I decided that I was ready to make that commitment
and give to myself. Since I had been to Cozumel with
you three years ago, I knew the course and felt that the
conditions were so similar to Hawaii that this was the
race for me.
line and I told myself “KC, today you will be an
Ironman but right now you have to work for it.” This
helped me stay focused so I could race smart. I was

Ironman is such a long event; I knew that if I got ahead Hawaii community of triathletes and athletes and I
of myself I would get frustrated. There was a moment thank you for helping to create the Team Hola y Aloha
on the bike at mile 30 when I thought about the finish that went to Cozumel. I’m grateful for everyone who
competed and all those who took the time out of their
lives to come to Mexico to support everyone.
KC: It was a really large group from Hawaii that
made the trip to Cozumel. Why did you try to convince people to go? Lori: Triathlon and Ironman have
helped me be a better person. I am more confident,
more positive about life, and simply physically and
mentally healthier than I have ever been. I wanted
other folks to share these great benefits and I thought
that Ironman Cozumel was a great event for everyone,
including first timers. If I could recruit just a few athletes from different training groups to get things started, I expected they would talk their training buddies
into it and we could get a large group. And once that
ball started rolling, we did! What does that tell you
about the relationships you make through triathlon?
KC: You and Ironman seem to have a strong relationship. You just keep doing them. Lori: It’s funny.
You would think that some of the bad experiences I’ve
had at Ironman events would cause me to stop competing. The DNF at my first Ironman in
Kona in 2009 was emotionally devastating. Another
DNF came when I experienced debilitating cramping
on the hot and hilly Ironman France bike leg in 2011.
The medical team pulled me off the course (at least I
thought they had) and I sat by the road for close to
two hours. When no one came to bring me and my
bike down from the mountains, I decided to ride down
to T2 to make the bike cut off . All the way down, I said
I would quit after the bike. And I did. I can’t believe I

Jonathan Lyau - Still Going Strong
Congratulations on having participated in every single Great Aloha Run.
What made you start running?
I started running in September 1979 in the 10th grade when I joined the
McKinley High School Cross Country Team. It sounded interesting and I thought
I had good endurance because I would outlast my basketball teammates when we
ran for conditioning, but I actually got interested in running earlier in 1979 during the Spring. My Aunt (Dora Kop) was someone who always talked positively
and strongly, and she told us that we should go with her to the Honolulu Marathon
Clinic. So we (me, my brother, and cousin) went with her to Sunday’s Honolulu
Marathon Clinic to listen to Dr. Jack Scaff talk about different topics on running
and about something called the Marathon. We would then try to do one of the
training runs after. I remember making it around Diamond Head and thinking it
was an accomplishment. We only went to this a couple of times a month, but I
learned a lot from listening to Dr. Scaff. I entered my first road race, the Diet
Pepsi 10k in June 1979 and ran it in 51min. After I joined cross country I realized
that I could do pretty well, but had to keep training to get better in running. I never
played basketball again. After XC season I decided to run the Marathon in
December, did it in a time of 3:23, and had fun doing it. My Aunt Dora passed
away this past November and it brought back a lot of memories on how I got started in running. I ended up getting a bib number to pace some runners through 11
miles in the marathon and thought a lot about her, especially as I ran around
Diamond Head.
What are some of your best memories from running? And from the Great
Aloha Run?
There are so many memories from my running career, but here are a few (in no
particular order):
• Winning the State High School 3200m track title (1982).
• Running my first marathon (1979).
• Winning my first of 17 Honolulu Marathon Kama’aina Titles (1993) after
years of trying.
• Winning two Great Aloha Runs 8 years apart (1994, 2002).
• Representing Hawaii in a $1 million winner take all race in Lake Tahoe (my
first experience running at altitude).
• Being on the Hawaii team for an Ekiden run in NYC and seeing so many
world class runners.
• Breaking the 2:30 barrier in the Marathon.
• Getting inducted into the Honolulu Marathon Hall of Fame.
• Traveling to different places outside of Hawaii to race.
Fun memories would be all the camaraderie that I had training, racing, and running relays with the Mushroom Track Club. The best memories have to be all the
people from all ages and walks of life that I’ve met (one of them being my wife
Kelli) by being a part of Hawaii’s running community for all these decades.
Memories from GAR include my first win as I led down into the tunnel and into
Aloha Stadium to finish 1st. It was a surreal experience as it really felt like I was
“pulling” everyone else in the race through there. I’m still creating memories so
I’m sure this list will grow.
What were your best GAR results? 5 top 5
finishes, 15 top 15 finishes, 26 top 20 finishes,
23 top 30 finishes. (Year by year results above.)
What is the secret? You have stayed with
running for a long time, and on a highly
competitive level. Setting goals and trying to
reach them keeps me motivated. The key is
consistency in training without taking too
many long breaks from training. I continue to
do quality hard run workouts to maintain race
fitness and enter races of various distances.
I’ve only had to take one really long break
from training. It was for almost 8 months after
getting injured and ultimately having surgery.
Other than that, I’ve basically run continuously since 1979.
When you trained the most, how much did
you run? 80-100 miles per week.
Where are you now, with regards to training
and racing? Now I put in 40-60 miles per week
and run 5-6 days per week. I still get in some
hard quality sessions and run an occasional race

PM: Thank you! The race went well. It had been raining
for a few days before the race so the course was really
muddy, and the temperature was in the 30s. There was
a lot of wind as well, which made it feel colder. I did not
mind the conditions because I knew everyone in the
race would be affected by it as well.

that’s where I noticed that I had good endurance and

PM: In the near future I am getting ready for indoor and
outdoor track. I run the 5K and 10K in outdoor track
and I hope to PR in both those events. After college, if
I am fast enough, I would like to run professionally. If
not, I hope to get some kind of job in the film business
because that is what I am majoring in.
HSM: Tell us a little bit about your training, and your
racing in college.
PM: Training in college is much harder than high school.
It’s good, though. It needs to be that way because
everyone who runs in college is fast! In high school I
didn’t have much competition. There were one or two
guys who were fast, but nothing like in college. Everyone takes running seriously, and all the races are much
larger than my high school races.

Intellectual, Spiritual and Emotional. Occupational wellness enables a
sense of intrinsic motivation, satisfaction and enrichment through one’s
work. Physical wellness involves a personal responsibility for one’s health,
with the need for regular physical activity and healthy eating habits. Social
wellness promotes positive communication within our community and
environment. Intellectual wellness is centered on challenging our minds to
utilize our unique skills and talents in a productive way. Spiritual wellness
involves the human search for meaning and purpose in our existence.
It wasn't until I began practicing physical therapy that I realized how important "Wellness" really is. It is one of the key elements needed to implement Lastly, emotional wellness recognizes the need to understand and accept

dimensions. The physical benefits of looking and feeling healthy greatly
improve self- esteem, self-control and determination, and it doesn’t stop
there. Healthier people are more likely to live longer, feel better and
encourage others around them.
Perhaps one of the most overlooked courses I took in physical therapy school was "Wellness". To me, it was kind of
simple: People need a healthy balance of mind and body to
get better . Evidently it was such an important concept that in the midst of
our cardiopulm, pharm, neuroscience, and imaging courses, “Wellness"
was a topic with enough information to warrant 214+ pages of reading.
One of our goals at Jaco Rehab is to help people understand what their bodies need in order to feel healthy and prevent injuries. Outside of direct oneon-one patient care, all of our therapists make an effort to support the
greater wellness movement in our community. Some of our wellness programs include:
• ACL risk of injury testing for local soccer, volleyball, and other
sports teams.
• JACO Liberty: A functional balance training program to help
increase independence with activities of daily living.
• Fit 2 Work: An ergonomic assessment and conditioning program
designed to maintain wellness in your workplace.
• Injury prevention seminars around the island to help people
reduce their overall risk of injury.
• Post-race injury screenings at many tournaments and races
around the island.
Searching for answers, I reviewed the “Six Dimensions of Wellness” from
my old course notes. These dimensions were developed by Dr. Bill Hettler,
co-founder of the National Wellness Institute (NWI) in 1976. There are six,
interdependent aspects of wellness: Occupational, Physical, Social,
It is my hope that everyone is able to find a greater sense of wellness within themselves, so that they may share it with those around them. Together,
we can gain a better understanding of the interconnectedness of each
dimension and how they contribute to healthy living. You can learn more
about the six dimensions of wellness at www.nationalwellness.org. To

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Honolulu Ekidenâ&#x20AC;? is a marathon-length (26.2 miles) team relay race consisting of six legs. The course
stretches from Kapiolani Park to Sandy Beach Park along the beautiful coastline of East Oahu. For our
inaugural race last year, about 900 runners (210 teams in total) from Hawaii and Japan participated. We are
projecting about 2,000 runners from Hawaii, Japan, and other countries for 2014. Great prizes and a music
festival on Waikiki Beach awaits participants after the race!

Big Island Corner - Ironman World Championships
by Mercedes DeCarli
On Saturday, October 12, 2013, at 7 o’clock in the
morning, all the training required for the preparation to race in the Ironman World Championships
in Kona was put into play. With the shot of the
cannon, the athletes were off; their dreams
becoming a reality the moment they walked to
body marking that morning, all of them prepared
for anything the day could bring and ready for the
task before them.
The day was one of the most perfect Ironman
days anyone had ever seen weather condition
wise. The water was calm and clear for the swim,
on the bike the athletes had a tailwind all the way
out to Hawi and not too much of a headwind coming back into town, and the clouds helped with the
heat on the run resulting in amazing run splits.
18-year-old Keoni Smith, a recent graduate of
West Hawaii Explorations Academy, exited the
water in 59:16, completing his goal of breaking an
hour in the water and being the first Kona resident
to finish the swim. Dan Gampon, also 18-yearsold and a recent graduate of Kealakehe High
School, followed Smith, swimming a 1:04:26.
Keish Doi was the third Kona resident out of the
water with a time of 1:06:12.
Out on the bike course, Keish Doi took the lead
from Smith and was the first Kona resident to
enter the run course after completing a bike time
of 4:58:29. Michael DeCarli’s strength and experience quickly allowed him to make up time lost on
the swim, having swam a 1:11:13. DeCarli averaged, like Doi, well over 20 mph on the way up to
Hawi and a total average of 21.43 mph for the 112
miles to finish the bike in 5 hours, 13 minutes, 35
seconds and landed himself as the second Big
Island resident on the run course. Coming off the
bike with a total split time of 5:19:27 was Jeni

and heavily taxed, their bodies battled with sideaches, blisters, and soreness from head-to-toe,
but each athlete fought their own battle and came
out victorious. Doi ran an incredible 3:45:59 to
land him first Kona resident and 578th place overall with a finishing time of nine-hours, fifty-sixminutes, fifty-four seconds. Winegarner, who ran
a 3:57:57 marathon, was the first Kona woman to
finish and 966th overall. With a time of 10:33:10,
Winegarner also earned herself the 132nd place
for overall women. DeCarli, who battled with blisters on his feet for the last half of the marathon
came across the finish line in a total time of
10:48:19. DeCarli’s run split for his first marathon
was a 4:11:10.
Two of the youngest competitors in the 2013
Ironman World Championship were also from
Kona. Keoni Smith, who was the first Kona resident to exit the water, finished in a total time of
11:28:01. Dan Gampon, second out of the water,
finished just behind Smith at 11:48:49.
Good job to all of the athletes who participated in
the World Championship this year. You are an
inspiration to many people. Can’t wait to cheer
you on in the near future.

From
Sand to Snow: An Unlikely Calling
HAWAII NATIVE JEREMY WAGNER FINDS TALENT ON THE MOUNTAIN
By Caryn Maconi
Jeremy Wagner is a devoted Hawaiian in many ways. From his greeting of “aloha” to his trusty ukulele to his love of the University of
Hawaii Rainbow Wahine sports teams, Wagner seems upon first
impression to belong on the islands. Somehow, however, this
N?n?kuli native has found himself living in the mountains of Fraser,
CO. Though he didn’t see snow for the first time until late 2010,
Wagner is now training for the Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter
Games in the sports of cross-country skiing and biathlon, which
combines Nordic skiing and rifle shooting.
A U.S. Army Reserves veteran, Wagner was injured in 2007 in a
motorcycle accident while on leave from his second tour in Iraq. The
injury damaged his spinal cord, leaving him paralyzed below the
waist, but Wagner immediately began looking for opportunities to
stay active. His first passion for adaptive sport came in an outrigger
canoe.
While undergoing treatment at the Palo Alto Veterans Affairs
Medical Center in California, Wagner found out about the VA’s
National Veterans Wheelchair Games and was introduced to a sitski,
also known as a monoski, for the first time. Using the sitski, which
consists of a molded seat mounted on a metal frame with one ski
underneath, Wagner found that he could glide and steer himself
through the snow using only his upper body and a pair of short poles.
Wagner competed in the slalom event at the National Veterans
Wheelchair Games that year and an unlikely passion was ignited.
It didn’t take long for Wagner to find his niche in the sports of cross-country skiing and biathlon. At the Wheelchair Games he was approached by
Rob Rosser, a U.S. Paralympics Nordic Skiing National Team coach in
charge of development and recruiting. Rosser encouraged the native
Hawaiian to try training and racing at a more competitive level, so when
Wagner’s cousin invited him to live with her and her husband in Denver to
give full-time training a try, and he jumped at the opportunity.
“I am very fortunate to have the support of my family, who initially opened
it up,” Wagner said. “My cousin helped me get involved with the VA in the
first place; otherwise, I don’t know where I’d be now.”
With his cousin’s support, Wagner began practicing with the National
Sports Center for the Disabled, a Paralympic Sport Club in Winter Park,
CO, under Nordic head coach Mark Birdseye. There, he trained alongside
the national team and began to understand where his talent could lead him.
Before long, he was hooked.
“After five months or so, I was able to go to the last training camp that the
[National Team] has in Bend, OR,” Wagner said. “I was kind of able to
keep up with the National guys, and then they put me on the Development
Team … Progress is always motivating, and I was named to the National
Team a year later. I thought, ‘Maybe I do have what it takes to make it to
the Games.’”
In just his third year of training full-time, Wagner finds himself a member
of the world championship team, a world cup circuit participant and a
favorite for the 2014 Paralympic Winter Games in Sochi, Russia. He still
trains with the NSCD, which recently received a grant through the Olympic
Opportunity Fund to support disabled veterans and injured servicemen
through the process of learning, training for, and competing in adaptive
sports at all levels.
For Wagner and many other military veterans, biathlon is an attractive sport
because it makes use of many of the skills used in combat. Biathlon
requires quick movement and endurance as well as strong marksmanship,
something veterans often do not get a chance to experience again after
returning from active duty. In fact, all five athletes who represented the
United States at the 2013 International Paralympic Committee Nordic
Skiing World Championships in Sweden were either military veterans or
active duty servicemen. Wagner, however, believes the sport draws veterans for bigger reasons than the chance to shoot a rifle again.
“I think it’s the drive,” Wagner said. “Although we train as a team, it’s an
individual sport, and you have to have a lot of self-motivation to get out
there and train by yourself. I think a lot of [the athletes] have that because
of their service.”
Wagner said staying active and competing are especially important for him
and many other Paralympic veteran athletes.
“A lot of them are coming back from combat with an injury or were injured
after they got home,” Wagner said. “They still have that fighting mentality,
they’re just fighting a different battle now. We’re not satisfied with sitting
on a couch and feeling sorry for ourselves, so whether it’s our personal
goals or reaching out to the community, we are always staying active.”
Though Wagner said he and his teammates push each other in training on
a regular basis, his goals for Sochi are more personal: to race to the best of
his ability and to continue to make progress in his sport.
“[My hope is] just to push myself and to do better and better,” Wagner said.
“I know we’re there to get medals, but as long as I meet my personal goals,
whether it’s a time or a place, I’m satisfied. If I keep meeting my goal,
eventually I am confident that I will obtain those top spots.”
To reach those goals, Wagner is putting in the effort in the weeks leading
up to the Sochi Games. An average week for the Nordic skier and biathlete
includes two-a-day practices at least three times per week, These workouts
consist of high-intensity interval training which range from short, oneminute sprints to longer four-minute repeated efforts. Wagner also hits the
weight room three days per week to build strength and endurance.
To learn how to move efficiently between the intensity of skiing and the
composure needed for an accurate shot, Wagner said he uses a heart rate
monitor and analyzes his results from training.
“If I had a 150, 160 or 165-bpm heart rate, how did I shoot?” Wagner will
ask himself. “And shooting is the same as the cross-country side, there are
slow days and hard days. Slow days are dry-firing and slow shooting,
working on accuracy, and hard days are going out and working on racepace heart rate so that we’re used to that condition.”
As he closes in on the Sochi Games, Wagner said his focus will shift even
more from endurance and technique practice to speed and specific race
preparation.
The move from beaches to mountains has not been easy for the unlikely
snow-sport enthusiast and islander at heart. He misses being around the
water and being surrounded by like-minded natives. Colorado has its share
of positives, though, some of which make Wagner feel a little closer to
home.
“Hawaii and Colorado both have an amazing amount of sunshine, so I’m
good with being in Colorado,” Wagner said. “Even though the temperature
is really different, as long as the sun is out, I am good.”
As immersed as Wagner is in his snowy sport, he will never let his
Hawaiian identity slip away. Wherever he travels, his Hawaiian flag and
ukulele are by his side. “Hawaii is home, it’s where I was raised,” Wagner
said. “I’m never really that far from home.”
The Sochi 2014 Paralympic Winter Games Games begin two weeks after the conclusion of the Olympic Winter Games on March 7–16.
NBC and NBCSN will combine to air 50 hours of television coverage of the Games,
starting on March 7 with the Opening Ceremony. It will be followed by daily coverage
of all five Paralympic sports in the Sochi program, before the Games’ Closing

coverage, the United States Olympic Committee will provide live coverage of every

— RACE REVIEW 5K by Heather Yanazaki —
This was the first time I’ve ever done a trail run –
but it’s definitely not my last!
The 5K and 10K were non-championship distances offered at the 21K XTERRA Trail Run
World Championship. This being my first trail
run, I went with the 5K to ease my way in. I
picked up a pair of trail running shoes a few days
before the race at the advice of a friend, and boy
were they were the best investment ever. The 5K
terrain was mostly loose rocks on an uphill dirt
road, and downhill on steep grassy fields. The
shoes gave me tons of grip and resistance on the
downhill portions, and allowed me to use gravity
for speed while catching my breath from the
treacherous uphill first mile.
We arrived at 7:00am to meet with the rest of the
group and avoid traffic. Next time, I’ll bring a
jacket because it gets chilly out there in the morning. The race offered a free bag check or, if you
prefer to keep your bags in your car, parking is
right near the start line. The 21K championship
race started at 9:00am, followed by staging of the
5K at 9:10am and the 10K at 9:20am. It was exciting to watch the 21K start and cheer for the soonto-be XTERRA Trail Run World Champion!
Other things to note:
• GPS signal for my running app worked fine (but
hardly any phone reception)
• Because the race started after 9:00am, we were
running in direct sunlight with very little shade.
Wear good sunscreen and bring your hat and sunglasses.
• Bring a bottle of water and leave it in your car or
at bag check. There were several aid stations
along the course, but there’s only one water station
at the finish line, which gets congested.
• Because of their manual tracking system I didn’t
have to worry about timing chips and I got a printout of my results a few minutes after I finished.
• No headphones or iPods/MP3s are allowed on
the course since we were dodging ATV riders, tour
buses, and cows. Yes, cows.
After attacking this hill I knew I was almost home.
I slowly regained my energy and picked up my
pace. Only two miles left! Another mile, and I
could hear voices from the microphone at the finish line just meters below the hill. With excitement, I cheered on each runner that I saw. After all,
didn't we tackle three hills together?
The finish line was within sight! Wait, teammates
were taking photos to the right? That was the best
surprise in my extensive adventure!

— RACE REVIEW 21K by Zara Nguyen —
The Xterra World Championship off-road trail
running 21K is one of the hardest 13.1 mile races
of my running career (which is still a short one)!
This was my second time against this monster trail
and it was not easier than my first time, two years
ago. The 21K consists of running around Ka'a'awa
Valley twice before returning to the start/finish
line. The trail started with a teaser hill which most
runners were unaware of and sprinted through,
only to find halfway through the hill that their legs
and lungs were not cooperating with their mental
state. This time, I knew to pace myself. (Perhaps a
little too well, because after the hill, I had too
much energy. Voom!) At the fork of the 5K route
and the 10K route laid my final, final decision to
continue with the 21K. Surprisingly, it does cross
my mind each year to continue or to take the easy
way out. But since the 21K was what I signed up
for, I reminded myself to suck it up and that my
training should have been adequate to get me
through. After this next mile, runners get to a narrow trail, usually identifiable with a long line of
other runners waiting to attack. This is probably
the one part of the trail that I think can be
improved upon. Widening the trail to allow
enough room for two people would really streamline the course. It delayed my time by a few minutes -- not something I would like if I was trying
to make PR.
Once runners got past the narrow trail, the next
obstacle came at mile 6. Along the route, on mile
6, runners approach another hill, one which
appears to be three times more massive than the
first hill. This second hill made the first hill seem
a bit silly and underrated. Assuming that you do
• Lots of vendors and sponsors on site with free- not pass out from this hill, the next few miles are
bies and product specials. Food trucks were sell- great, with nice greenery and forest. Then, you
ing lunch too. Carry some cash since the credit slowly approach your next nightmare, a hill even
steeper than the hill at mile 6. Welcome mile 10.
card machines didn’t get a good signal.
• There was a kids’ obstacle course, adventure
walk, and kids’ sprint if you want to bring the family. I also saw several young children running the
5K with parents or coaches.
What I love most about running the Xterra?
• Scenery -- lush greens of Ka'a'awa Valley.
• Tackling impossible hills, one after another.
• Buckets and buckets of sweat equaling my
preparation, hard work and determination.
• The finish line and the medal that has so much
sweat on it!

Runners gathered at Kailua High School for the
annual 5K/10K fun run to support the Friends of
Kailua High School organization. As the rain
clouds loomed, runners prepared for the
slightly hilly run
around enchanted
lake. The 5K run
made its way from
Kailua High School
along Keolu Drive to
Keolu Elementary
School before heading back to the finish
line. The rain held up
just long enough for
everyone to finish
their race but poured
just as the top finishers were announced
and given their
a w a r d s .
Congratulations to all
the participants and
the Friends of Kailua
High School for a
great
run.
